The Science
Medical Weight Loss,
Done Right.
Lose up to 20% of your body weight with a personalized, physician-led approach.
Many people spend years trying harder — eating less and exercising more — only to regain the weight.
Modern obesity medicine recognizes that weight is influenced by biology, not just willpower.
At RITSA, we use evidence-based treatment, including FDA-approved medications when appropriate, to address the factors affecting appetite, metabolism, and long-term weight regulation.
Our goal isn't simply weight loss. It's better health and results that last.
More Than Weight Loss
Real Health Improvements
Because success is about more than the number on the scale.
Lower Blood Sugar
Help reverse prediabetes and prevent diabetes before it starts.
Healthier Blood Pressure
Take pressure off your heart and lower your risk of heart attack and stroke.
Improved Cholesterol Levels
Improve your cholesterol and build a stronger foundation for long-term heart health.
More Energy For Your Day
Show up for your work, your family, and yourself with more energy, stamina, and focus.
Better Sleep
Wake up feeling more rested, refreshed, and ready to take on the day.
Feel Like Yourself Again
Move more comfortably, feel more confident, and enjoy life without your weight holding you back.
You'll lose the weight —
but you'll gain so much more.
Better health. More energy. Greater confidence. A future that feels possible again.
Meet the Founder
Dr. Katina Richardson, MD
Board-Certified Family Physician · Founder of RITSA Health
Dr. Kat created RITSA Health after years of caring for patients struggling with weight-related health conditions. She saw how often people were left feeling frustrated, unsupported, and unsure where to turn next despite their best efforts to improve their health.
Many had spent years trying to do everything right, only to be told to simply "eat less and move more."
RITSA Health was built on a simple belief: patients deserve better. Better support. Better guidance. Better access to care.
The result is a physician-led practice built around personalized, evidence-based treatment — with the time, attention, and support lasting results require.

Stories from RITSA members who finally found care that meets them where they are.
For the first time, I'm not white-knuckling my way through another diet. Dr. Kat actually listened, ran the right labs, and built a plan around my body — not a template.

I'd tried everything — Whole30, peloton, fasting. Nothing held. The food noise quieted within weeks, and I finally feel like I'm in partnership with my body instead of fighting it.
